' so that said frame may freely: swing be sections by means of the series of links 9 tween said coverv sections? i.

i Upon the inner side of the cover section an original check pad l2-viscarranged and, a duplicate checkpad 13 is disposed upon: the inner side of the other cover section 6. Each of these check pads is provided at one end with a stop portion 1 1 of reduced'width.

These check :pads-aredetachably clamped to the respective cover sections by means ofthe fastening member *shownin detail 7 in Fig. 5 of the drawings. Each of these fastening members is provided with an angular end portion to ertendover the stop portion 14: of the check pad said end por tion having an inwardly projected termi- 11 21116 to engage over one edge of the cover a o'r case section, This angular partof the fastener member which extends over the stop 14 is provided with a series of spaced teeth 17 tobite into or grip the stop endof the pad. Thelother end portion of the member I 15 is adapted to liec'losely upon the surface of the cover section 6 and is provided with spacedbayonet slots 18 to receive the head ed studs ,19 fixed in the cover p-la-te'or'sec tion. This end of the fastener member 15 a is also provided with a shoulder 20 whichis adapted to snap into the'opening 21 in the cover plate, thereby securely locking the fastening member in position. At thisend the fastener member. 15 terminates in an upwardly projecting finger piece 22 which may be conveniently engaged by the .finger toolift the shoulder20 from the opening 21 when; it is desired to detach said fastener 4 to permit ofthe .removaliof the check pad.

The two parts of the carbon sheet holding frame are provided ontheir free longitudinal edges with the spaced sleevesf23 receivethe removable rod; 24; whereby said frame members are detachably ffcon'nected I with each other for swinging movementfas j ment.

This dnpli'cate checlr can be readily tornoff and detached from the'pad by swinging the care bon shei'et carrying "frame over to the left,

as seen in Figure 4. In arranginga new carbon sheet in the frame; the two-parts of the frame are separated in the manner 'il lustrated in Figure 6 'of' the drawings. The new carbon sheet can thus be readily arranged between the separated frame me1nbers and said "framemembers closed and lockedtogether bythe rod 24 in the manner above explained.

From. the foregoing, description, consid ered in. connection with i the accompanying drawings, the constrliction several advan tages and] manner ofoperation I of im-' proved duplicating icheckj'bo'ok' will be clearly-understood. Itwill be seen that the device is'of very simple and durable con:
